Happy Halloween! I am going
with a Gothic, creepy doll as my costume this year. While I knew I could whip us a frilly,
disturbed frock, the makeup would be what made the character. Ricky’s Glam Squadcame to my rescue to help
create this awesome look. They send hair and makeup artists straight to your door for Halloween, Red Carpet events or any other occasion you need to look fabulous.

Glam Squad stylistMarcy Iaquinto first came to NYC to be in front of the camera, but found her true
calling creating beauty behind it. Here’s
her Creepy Doll Makeup Tutorial on how she created my look:

" I started the makeup with the eyes. I used a
white pencil on the lid and under the eyes in a round shape including the water
line.

In the crease I used
black eye shadow and extended that down around the white. I blended the edges
so the eyes appeared hallow. I then blended some pink above the black on the
top lids.

For complexion, I used a
foundation two to three shades lighter than actual skin tone for a pale
look. I contoured with a darker powder to make the cheek bones appear a bit
sunken in and added bright pink blush on the apples of the cheeks for a baby doll
look.

For brows I exaggerated
the color and made them imperfect as if they were a bit worn off."

For lips, I drew an
exaggerated heart shaped red lip and added concealer to the edges of the lips
to help create the heart shape which really pulled the look together. "

So there you have it! If you see me traipsing around the West Village Halloween Parade tomorrow, come say hello. Please send me photos of YOUR costumes and makeup looks! If you have a cool DIY, I would love to show it off!
